Centre Development Manager

£35,000 to £37,500 (dependent on experience)

Rawmarsh, Rotherham

Full-time (37.5 hours per week) – will consider job-share applications

Permanent, subject to funding

Our client is a not-for-profit organisation that works to make the Rawmarsh area of Rotherham a better place to live and work for all. They provide a wide range of affordable and accessible activities for local people, creating opportunities for them to get involved, be part of their local community and reach their potential. Tackling loneliness, reducing social isolation and building the confidence of individuals to reach their own potential, as well as supporting others, are priorities for them.

Based in Rawmarsh, our client supports children and young people to develop their skills, capacities and capabilities. Their safe and inclusive environment is a place they can have fun, make new friends and gain the skills and confidence to raise their aspirations and achieve their ambitions.

They’re looking for a people-focused and inspirational Centre Development Manager to lead them into the next exciting chapter of their story; working with their beneficiaries, staff, volunteers and Trustees to continue the positive impact of their work. Building on their success and working towards achieving their vision for the Centre, they are looking for a strong leader to ensure they remain sustainable and a continuing part of the community of which they are proud.

You will have overall responsibility for the leadership of the organisation, including the development and implementation of appropriate business plans, with associated income generation, marketing and project management activity.

An experienced and motivational leader of people, you will also be used to managing complex revenue and capital budget. Estates management and in particular steering them through the recommendations from a recent quinquennial property inspection, will be a significant element of your role.

You’ll be confident and comfortable as an ambassador for their work, maintaining positive relationships with partners, including funding organisations, and recognising the centrality of our client's relationship with the Methodist Church.

The role will require attendance at meetings outside of normal working hours, therefore, the successful candidate must be willing to work flexible hours when required to meet work demands.

If you think you fit the bill and would love to join a friendly and professional team, apply today and you could make a positive difference to the lives of people in and around Rawmarsh.

Closing date for applications is 12 noon on Sunday 12th January 2025.

Interviews for this role are likely to take place on Friday 24th January 2025.
